To me art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing to take the risk.

There is more power in telling little than in telling all.

We favor the simple expression of the complex thought. We are for the large shape because it has the impact of the unequivocal. We wish to reassert the picture plane. We are for flat forms because they destroy illusion and reveal truth.

It is the poet and philosopher who provide the community of objectives in which the artist participates. Their chief preoccupation, like the artist, is the expression in concrete form of their notions of reality. Like him, they deal with the verities of time and space, life and death, and the heights of exaltation as well as the depths of despair. The preoccupation with these eternal problems creates a common ground which transcends the disparity in the means used to achieve them.

There is no such thing as good painting about nothing.

The people that weep before my paintings are having the same religious experience that I had when I painted it.
